How do I maintain bamboo decking?

In general, AMBOOO bamboo decking boards offer slip resistance in accordance with DIN 51097 and DIN 51130 - R12. The smooth side of the decking board is even more slip-resistant than the profiled side. With profiled sides, weather or environmental influences, such as rain and frost or pollen, dirt, etc. play a greater role and can become more slippery.

The advantages of the smooth side are easier cleaning and care. Visually, natural, weather-related changes in the material can be more noticeable, but can also be processed faster and better.

Bamboo is a sustainable super plant because it...

• grows up to 1m a day and thus offers huge resources
• is undemanding in growth and requires little water, no fertilizer or pesticides
• 35% more oxygen than trees produce
• Absorbs and stores 6x more CO2 than trees
• Does not die when harvested, but sprouts again
• provides protection against erosion due to its dense roots
• provides socio-economic benefits as a source of income in economically weaker regions
• saves resources due to the durability of the products
• protects (rain) forests as an alternative to hard and tropical woods

Our decking boards are extremely durable and will last for many years. Due to their high dimensional stability, they are particularly resistant to weather effects and deformations.

Due to the properties, such as the particularly high density, of our bamboo profiles, a special bamboo care oil has been developed that is tailored to them. The use of wood care oils or cooking oils does not work on bamboo, as they do not bond with the surface structure and do not dry and protect.

AMBOOO care oil is a water-based thin-layer glaze that has been tailored to bamboo over many years of development. Development and production take place in Germany and meet the highest quality standards. The oil not only refreshes the colour, but also protects the material from the elements.

Bambus ist farbstabiler und vergraut wesentlich langsamer als die gängigen Holzarten. Außerdem handelt es sich bei der Vergrauung von Bambusprofilen viel mehr um eine oberflächliche "Verschmutzung", die aufgrund der speziellen Eigenschaften, wie Dichte und Festigkeit nicht tief in das Material eindringt. Durch Reinigung und Pflege mit dem speziellen Bambus Pflegeöl von AMBOOO kann die Optik erhalten werden.

Bei hartnäckigen Verschmutzungen empfehlen wir die Reinigung mit dem AMBOOO Cleaner vor dem Ölen. Sollte das Material längere Zeit nicht gepflegt worden sein, sollte es mit dem Siliziumcarbid Besen behandelt oder angeschliffen werden.
